A great presentation, well worth watching to hear what's happening in this space and some good insights into how leading travel brands are applying AI.
Hi everyone 👋 I'm Marko, part of this lovely community, and work in travel tech startup exploring how small and mid-sized travel agencies handle sales and booking workflows, especially with the growing use of AI tools.
I'm curious to learn from your real-world experience:
➡️ What AI or automation tools (if any) do you currently use to support sales, lead handling, or inquiry follow-ups?
➡️ How does your current booking process work - from first inquiry to confirmed trip?
I’d love to better understand the tools and systems professionals actually rely on - what’s working, what’s frustrating, and where there’s room to improve. Let’s share insights! Thanks for sharing!
Take a look at some notes from our Travel Massive event with OpenAI in London earlier this month — there's a few relevant points to your questions.

Interesting thanks!
Hi everyone, I’m a tourism marketing expert with a focus on sustainable development and experiential travel — I created the concept of Mindful Escape Tourism as a way to rethink how we connect with places, people, and ourselves when we travel.
So what is Mindful Escape Tourism, really?
It’s not a trend. It’s a mindset — and a way of approaching travel that’s slower, more thoughtful, and deeply human. It’s about shifting away from the rush of ticking things off a list, and moving toward something that actually nourishes us.
There are three big ideas at its core:
Mindfulness – Being fully present. That could mean wandering unfamiliar paths, talking with locals without an agenda, listening to nature, or simply allowing silence to be part of your trip.
Digital Disconnection – Taking a break from the screen to actually see where you are. Not because tech is bad, but because presence is better.
Sustainability – Traveling in ways that care for the planet and the people who host us — by supporting small businesses, honoring traditions, and leaving a positive footprint.
This isn’t about a specific destination. It’s about a different way of showing up — wherever you go.
Why did I create this?
I’ve spent years working in tourism, culture, and sustainable development. I’ve also spent years as a traveler who sometimes felt... disconnected. From myself, from the places I visited, and from the reason I was even traveling.
I started wondering — what if travel could be slower, deeper, more respectful? What if it could also be healing?
Mindful Escape Tourism is my answer to those questions. Not a finished product, but a growing idea. A framework others can shape, adapt, or expand. I don’t see it as mine — I see it as something we can all build together. Is it actually possible?
Yes. And people are ready for it.
When given the space to slow down, travelers respond with openness, curiosity, and emotion. They become more than tourists — they become part of a story. And in turn, they give something back.
I’ve seen it happen in small villages, creative city corners, and nature-based retreats. Hospitality becomes shared moments. A walk becomes a meditation. A meal becomes a conversation.
Want to be part of it?
If you work in travel, design experiences, run a guesthouse, or you’re just curious — I’d love to hear from you.

Travel is changing. The only question is — will we change with it?
This post is meant to spark ideas and conversations. If it resonates with you — or even challenges your perspective — I’d truly love to hear your thoughts. Drop a comment or feel free to send me a message. Let’s explore what mindful travel can look like, together. 🌍 🧭
Hi Maria,
Thank you for sharing this inspiring post!
I completely agree, travellers are increasingly seeking more personal and authentic experiences. Of course, there will always be those chasing Instagram-worthy pictures instead of being present in the moment, but I believe more and more people are refocusing on connecting with local communities, fellow travellers, and, most importantly, with themselves.
Travel has always felt magical to me because the encounters and experiences I had deeply resonated with me and expanded my view of the world. Recently, travel has become even more meaningful, helping me overcome a major personal adversity. This experience inspired me to found a startup in Japan with the goal of empowering foreign travellers to focus on their journey and venture beyond the beaten path to create their own magical moments.
I would love to explore ways we could work together to promote a more sustainable and mindful way of travelling.
Hi Nico,
Thank you so much for your beautiful message and for sharing your personal journey — it truly resonates with the spirit of Mindful Escape Tourism. 🌿
I absolutely agree that travel has a unique power to transform, heal, and expand our perspectives when we experience it with presence and authenticity.
Your initiative in Japan sounds incredibly inspiring, and it’s wonderful to hear how you’re empowering travelers to create their own meaningful stories. I would love to explore synergies between our visions and discuss ways we could collaborate to promote more mindful and sustainable travel experiences.
I'll reach out via direct message, and I’m looking forward to connecting further!
The People You Meet is a story about the people you meet on the road and the impact of these temporary but powerful, in-the-moment relationships. Take whatever it is you need from this book, be it the inspiration for more adventures, the comfort of knowing we are all built differently, that reinforcement to listen to your gut, or just the pleasure of being entertained by someone else’s journey. Enjoy.
I have recently published a book!
The People You Meet is about a trip I did in 2010 around SE Asia and China. Due to my partner at the time (who worked in high end travel), it was part backpacking, part luxury, the latter being a foreign concept to me.
This book is comprised of emails I sent home to friends and family during this time as we made our way through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and China. Readers have said it is funny, adventurous, and honest. It is also re-inspiring travel for a lot of people. There is something for everyone, as there is also a subtle love story happening in the background about a long-distance relationship based on adventures. There is something here for everyone!
It's available on Amazon on Kindle and paperback: www.amazon.ca/People-You-Meet-Interesting-Characters/dp/106904430X/

Swaphouse is a free platform to swap homes with fellow remote workers and digital nomads around the world.
💸 Free accommodation - no required fees
🌍 1710+ homes available in 74 countries worldwide
🧑💻 WFH-friendly homes with verified Wi-Fi speeds
Hey everyone! I’m Tobi, the founder of Swaphouse.
My wife and I were tired of spending a fortune on Airbnbs and hotels while working remotely and traveling to other countries, so we thought—why not swap homes with other remote workers and skip the costs altogether?
That idea turned into Swaphouse: a free community where remote workers and travel lovers swap homes, save money, and explore new places—without sacrificing comfort or a proper work setup.
We’re a tiny team of two, bootstrapping this project out of pure passion. One of the most common questions we get is: “Is it really free?” — and yes, it is! Swaphouse is a side project we’ve been building in our evenings and weekends. I still work full-time as a Product Manager, and this has been our way of combining our love for travel with something useful for the remote work community.
Our vision is simple: make remote work and travel more accessible, affordable, and community-driven—so more people can explore the world without spending a lot of money on accommodation.
We’re active users ourselves too. Over the past few months, we’ve swapped homes in Munich, Malta, and Paris. You can read more about our story here: swaphouse.io/about — and if it sounds like your vibe, come join us!
Here’s what makes Swaphouse different:
🌍 1700+ homes in over 70 countries — From Bali to Berlin, Portugal to South Africa. Our map keeps growing every day.
💸 Totally free — No fees, no required memberships, no hidden anything. Just honest home swapping with awesome people.
💻 Remote work-ready — Every home comes with at last one workspace and solid Wi-Fi. We built a Wi-Fi speed tester into the platform, so you know exactly what kind of speed to expect before you swap.
💚 Swipe, match, swap — Swaphouse works like a dating app, but for homes. Heart the listings you love, and if they heart you back—it’s a match! You only chat when there’s mutual interest, so your inbox stays clean and relevant.
We’re building a global community of people who want to travel more, spend less, and feel at home wherever they go. If that sounds like your thing, come join us. Feedback, support, and new homes are always welcome!
Would love to hear your feedback, ideas, or questions 🙌
Check it out at swaphouse.io
How is this different or better than noadexchange.com, myplace.co, livekindred.com, homeexchange.com ?
Great question! Swaphouse stands out because it’s completely free and designed specifically for remote workers—every home has solid Wi-Fi and a workspace. (Noad has a similar focus, but it seems they’ve paused new signups, so not sure if they’re still active).
Our swipe-to-match system is what really sets us apart. You only connect with other swappers when there’s mutual interest (you both like each other’s homes). This avoids random messages and saves time—something we found to be a major pain point on other platforms.
Hi Tobias, thanks for sharing Swaphouse with the Travel Massive community!
The site looks great, and nicely designed UX, well done!
A few quick questions:
1. What are your future plans for Swaphouse? Where do you see the most growth?
2. What is your business / revenue model if the platform is free?
3. I notice you have a few locations such as Hobart (my home town) listed as destinations, but without properties listed. Are these placeholders because they are places your community has requested? Just curious!
Thanks for your kind words and good questions, Ian!
1. Currently, we see the most growth in Europe, which has about 60% of the homes listed. But our top priority is growing the community and home listings organically across the world. Since home swapping is still new to many, we see a big opportunity in making it feel easy, safe, and trustworthy—which is why we’re actively building features to support that experience. (You can check out a few recent updates here: swaphouse.io/updates)
2. In the future, we may offer optional paid options like identity or home verification, insurance, or access to premium features on the platform. We also see potential in partnering with companies to offer Swaphouse as a perk—so employees can truly work from anywhere (maybe even swap homes with colleagues across offices). That said, our current focus is fully on growing the number of listings and building a strong, active community.
3. It’s actually a mix of both—some destinations are based on community searches and requests, but for most we already have homes listed. Right now, we have homes in 679 different destinations, but we only show homes on public destination pages once there are 3 or more in a specific location. We did have one home listed in Hobart, but it’s currently unavailable. That said, we do have two other homes live in Tasmania at the moment!
Just added our house in Mexico. Let's do this! We are/were on Noad but I think they're kaput, unfortunately. My travel blogger agency worked with them in the beginning to help them scale, but then they raised prices when they only had about 100 homes instead of doing the opposite to kick in the network effect (like you all are). Hope this works out better with a price that can't be beat.
Thanks Tim, so great to have you on board! And yes, we’re learning from those who came before—our focus is all about growing the community, not chasing quick wins. Listening to the community members is also a big part of that, so if you ever have ideas or feedback, you can share them with me directly via Swaphouse Support on the platform.
Great idea! I signed up.
Amazing, thanks for joining Christine!
Very cool concept and clean, nice looking UX. Congratulations, Tobias!
I have just listed my flat in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. One question I have: we only get notified of an interested person if we have also liked their flat, right? I believe this limits the opportunities of finding a swap, because I might consider a swap in a destination I haven't search for, but knowing someone from this place is interested in my home could spark the interest of moving forward with the swap to explore new destinations I'd otherwise not considered travelling to.
Are you thinking of a way to allow users to be notified when they property receives a like?
Or do you see a flaw in this scheme I am proposing that I am unware of?
Cheers!
Thanks so much, Rodrigo! And awesome to have your flat in Rio listed 🙌
Great question—and you’re absolutely right in your thinking. We actually already do this! When someone likes your home, their listing will show up in your ‘Match requests’ tab. That way, you can discover potential swaps in places you might not have searched for, knowing they’ve already shown interest in your home, just like you described.
Appreciate the thoughtful feedback—keep it coming! 😊
Cool, thank you Tobias!
Journey Pal is a tour guide in your pocket — a tool to discover more about your own neighbourhood and an app that lets you explore the world. With encyclopaedic information about over a million global locations, and the convenience of being a mobile app, Journey Pal is the world's most convenient tour guide.
Hi all,
Hey everyone! I’m Dale, a software engineer and passionate traveler from New Zealand.
After exploring 30+ countries and constantly wishing for a smarter way to uncover the stories around me, I built Journey Pal — a mobile app that acts like a personal tour guide in your pocket.
🧭 What it does:
Journey Pal surfaces location-based historical facts and stories as you explore the world — no need to know what to search for, just walk around and learn what's nearby. It even works across languages, so you can read local Wikipedia pages in your own language, even if they were written in another.
🎯 Why it's different:
Most travel info is keyword-driven — if you don’t know what to look for, you miss out. Journey Pal flips that around by serving info based on your location so you never miss hidden gems again.
📱 It’s live and free on iOS and Android
🔍 I'm looking to:
• Connect with travel bloggers, content creators, and tourism marketers
• Partner with tourism orgs or guides to surface better stories and provide experiences
• Get feedback from people in the travel industry to help shape the future of the app
I've basically just been building what I wanted during my travels to deal with inconveniences I faced. In my travels I've discovered places that I think could really benefit from this software (see the reviews section on the Journey Pal website at journeypal.app).
But i've really struggled to connect with the people who manage these attractions.
Ultimately the goal is to make information more accessible for people, while also providing a fun and authentic way for people to track and share their travels.
I feel like there's a lot of potential for improvement in this space, but I'm just not sure exactly how to go about that, so I'd love any feedback of where this could be useful, or if there's any other functionality I can build in order to improve this idea.
Thanks!
Hi Dale, thanks for sharing Journey Pal with the Travel Massive community.
Congrats on what you have created and for developing a travel tool for your own needs and sharing it with other travellers!
I often take a quick look at the Wikipedia of a new city I'm visiting, so I do think there's a use-case for mapping the entries on a map and presenting it in a convenient way. The AI voice narration is also very impressive.
I found the location search a little buggy (it listed recent events events in the suggested places — for example typing 'Bangkok' mentioned the earthquake. Same for 'Tasmania').
It appears like you are building two apps in one — a "places you've been" app, and a "wikipedia on a map" app. Yes you can offer both features in the one app, but it may make it harder to pin-point your value proposition to both users and potential customers. At some point you may need to focus on one of these.
In terms of working with the industry. Tourism providers are constantly being asked to integrate with apps or digitise various services — so it's a noisy space to get heard in. You need to demonstrate that can solve a pain-point for them, and not just be a "nice to have". Ideally, have a B2B offering (e.g. a whitelabel they can brand).
I'd suggest starting local — e.g. your own tourism information centre in your hometown, and seeing if you can collaborate to build or test a product with them. Many global travel tech companies started this way!
I think you're on to something with the QR codes that you explain on your website, so perhaps that's something worth exploring...
Hope this feedback is of help!
We brought 8 travel advisors from the US and Canada on a 6-day journey to become true Colombia travel experts with Impulse Travel — here's a look at what happened!
Did you know that Colombia is one of the fastest growing travel destinations in Latin America?
We teamed up with procolombia.co (the organization in charge of promoting tourism and foreign investment in Colombia) to take 8 travel agents from the US and Canada on a 6-day journey to become true Colombia travel experts.
This trip has one clear purpose: to make sure our travel advisors feel fully prepared and confident to sell Colombia.
This isn't a typical FAM trip; We visit three cities and each day starts with an academic session, where we dive into logistics, connectivity, tourism infrastructure, and more. Then we head out to explore Colombia the Impulse way — connecting with people, uncovering stories, and feeling the soul of the country.
Have you visited Colombia or do you want to visit? Share your thoughts below!
As someone who has travelled extensively in Colombia, and had an adventure travel business there (until 2018), I think your video is a great representation of Colombian culture. However, 6 days creates amazing exccitement about the country, it hardly creates an expert. Keep up the good work!!
There are many of us who work in travel media and the travel industry here in Vancouver, BC, but there's currently no active Travel Massive chapter.
I'm looking to put together a community event here sometime in the next couple of months, with the goal of getting an active chapter up and running - but wanted to gauge interest and see if there are others who would be interested as well?
By way of introduction - I'm David Brodie. I'm the founder of a company that's building out a network of travel podcasts. We have hosts in several cities around the world and podcasts covering 100s of destinations (Voyascape.com). I previously ran a PR agency with many clients across North America and around the world in the travel and tourism sector and have been a speaker at TravelCon & TBEX and atttended a few Travel Massive events in London, New York and Toronto.
Would to hear from you if your interested in helping organize or even just attend a Vancouver Travel Massive event and also a bit more about you! Please feel free to introduce yourself!
Thanks!
